This is a practical issue, not really even a policy issue.
With the discussion board, do two things: (a) state clearly what will be
immediately removed (in a clear and large link in the header with a message
to draw attention to it) and remove it (b) Declare that at arbitrary time
periods it will be switched to "Moderated status" and managers will be asked
to approve staff posts
Watch "futzing" (a technical term, trust me) dwindle fast.

Subject: [data-protection] Intranet - Mis-use of the discussion board
Can you advise.
There has been some concern over the fact that some staff who have access to
the Intranet are mis-using the discussion board.
We do have an Intranet policy but it does not quite cover instances that are
happening now i.e staff using the discussion board like an internet chat
room (only difference being that messages are posted), or staff discussing
other staff anonymously, discussing religion, the war, etc.At the moment
there is a battleship 'posted' game being played.
It seems that a lot of staff are spending an enormous amount of time posting
messages to the discussion board.
Can anyone let me know if there are any current policies about usage of
parts of the Intranet like the discussion board.
It also seems that staff are trying to see how far they can push 'it'
before 'those up top' (their words not mine) slap a gagging order.
Thank
